Not missing the hours spent watching this movie :)

Rating: Null/10 (30 June 2003)

I just saw the movie today and I thought it was pretty good. The suspense was killer, but could be because I was constantly on the look out for an infected. It was a little gory but doable. The human reactions were believable. I loved how that John kid ran away. Classic. I believe a military unit could fall apart as fast as it did in the movie, considering that the men probably were between the ages of 18-23...what else would they have done? What I don't understand is why everyone is referring to this as a zombie movie. It isn't. The infected, as they were called in the movie, weren't zombies...they weren't even dead, which, I believe, is a requirement. They had a little more character than zombies. I know zombies can't move as fast as the infected did, who reminded me a lot of the "Wheelers" in the Return to Oz movie. There were also moments of humor that I enjoyed. It's good to be able to laugh in a suspense/somewhat horror film. I don't know if I would add this movie to my collection only because I'd be too freaked out to watch it again, but I do know is that after watching this movie, the meaning of Ms. Pac-Man has definitely changed.
